In GP-Pro EX, create CSV data and right-click [Update Search File]. In the [file] folder, an index file (ZRINDEX.csv) will be created.
When using the Condition Name Search feature, this file is used to speed up the search. The File Number and Condition Name for the CSV data recipes in GP-Pro EX are written to this file.
The index file has the following format:
In GP-Pro EX, after you run CSV file operations such as adding, editing, or deleting from the [Recipe] [Transfer CSV Data (CSV File List)] command, right-click [Update Search File] to update the index file.
If a CSV file has been created in Excel or by a device/PLC and transferred to the CF Card or USB Storage, the index file will not reflect information from those files. Either open the index file and input the information directly in the file, or add/edit the index file in GP-Pro EX.
When editing the index file, do not create any index file errors.
The following cases will cause an index file error, and Condition Name Search feature will fail. Create a new index file or delete the existing index file before resuming the transfer operation. The index file can be deleted by using a Special Data Display [File Manager].
A file number is missing.
The file number is not within the range of 0 to 65535.
The index file is not in CSV file format.
The index file condition names and file numbers are created by referencing all the saved files in the [file] folder. It is not created based on GP-Pro EX condition settings.
An index file can be created in offline mode. Please refer to the following for offline mode.
